List of Possible Volunteers

Jason has created a Garden Lovers spreadsheet from the people who responded to our outreach

Marcie (or someone from Triumphant Life Church) will begin looking for church-based volunteers

Jason has contacted the United Way and Endwell Rotary about getting volunteers from the United Way's Day of Caring on Saturday, September 15

Chris will see if BAE would be willing to get involved as part fo the Day of Caring too

Linda will be happy to inform the Master Gardeners

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Rich will be the Volunteer Coordinator. He will use the DavisAveGarden@gmail.com account to correspond with all Garden Lovers. The list of Garden Lovers is now available in that Sheets section of that account.

Chris will be the Community Outreach Coordinator, which means he will develop a list of garden choices with props, a way to display them, and a method for voting on them. Additionally, he will run that program at both Community Outreach sessions noted in timeline.

Linda brought along several good props for use in the Outreach display and suggested that other CCE programs come to WMT to attract attention.

Marcie volunteered to work with Darryl to figure out important dates for church. She will probably become the church picnic lead as well. In which case she'll work with Jason & Emily to plan the food, games, and decorations of WMT.

Jason will finalize a snail mail piece to Garden Lovers and send it ASAP. He'll then pass the volunteer baton to Rich to follow-up.
